No takes some getting use to but the screen is your view finder. Nice little camera for the price. needs a tri-pod at 24x.

No, the camera just has the viewing screen. What looks like a view finder iis the flip up flash. All in all, it is an excellent multi-function camera for everyday or vacation use.

No it does not. You will see that you don't need an optical view finder. The LCD screen is very accurate. The great thing about this model is the image sensor, it is EXCELLENT. That's why its $250 and worth it. The new models use a cheaper sensor and that model is $150. Google it !

It does have the viewfinder, however, it works the same way as the large touchscreen viewer (menu options, etc) appear on the viewfinder screen. There's a button to push to switch between the screen and viewfinder.

Yes it does have a view finder. I really like having the option of the view finder or screen.

Yes it does and I have it on my Leica now. I'm assured that it is identical in specs to the Leica viewfinder model

There is no viewfinder on this camera - monitor is big enough so viewfinder not really needed.

It has BOTH a viewfinder or you can use the display in the back of the camera. I am like you, I don't like using the display. The viewfinder is excellent. There is a switch on the top of the camera that lets you choose which viewing system you prefer and it defaults it until you change it.

If the screen on the back that shows what the picture will be qualifies as a viewfinder, then, yes. By the way, my wife and I are very happy with this camera.

Yes it does, not the best but it works in a pinch. I use the screen most of the time. I think i have used it only one time when the sun was relly intense. If you want to use a view finder most of time, i would recommend trying another camera.

Yes. The viewfinder is great when you are taking pix in very bright sunllight conditions and the display gets "washed out" and slmost impossible to see.

That is correct. the camera does have a viewfinder, which doesn't line up 100%, so I don't often use it.

Yes, indeed, it does have a viewfinder. That is exactly why I bought this camera. Most digital cameras today use a LCD screen and have no viewfinder. In bright daylight, LCD screens are hard to when and impossible if you are looking toward the sky like photographing birds, airplanes, etc. This camera has a button that activates the viewfinder and shuts down the LCD screen. It works quite well.

There is no viewfinder. Only the LCD screen. As a SLR user that bothered me at first. Now I couldn't imagine any other way.

My wife has the camera now but I believe it does NOT have a regular viewfinder, only an LCD through the lens.

Yes, the P7100 has a viewfinder, but when I say viewfinder, its basically a viewing area of our shot only, no display of settings etc. It does work for me when i want o look through it to set the composition of my shot.
